Chapter 6: Blue Ghost Claw

Chapter 6: Blue Ghost Claw

Chapter 6: Blue Ghost Claw
Chen Shi also discovered something was wrong with his grandfather. He had a bad smell on his body and, like the scholar ghost at the entrance of the village, he liked the smell of incense.

Moreover, he had not seen his grandfather eat during these days. He only saw his grandfather secretly eating candles, one after another, like eating radishes!
He even felt that those chickens and ducks that died inexplicably were most likely bitten to death and sucked dry of blood by his grandfather!

But for Chen Shi, no matter what his grandfather becomes, he is still his closest relative.

"Black Pot, take him to take medicine." Grandpa said lightly.

Outside the Chen family's courtyard, a big black dog wagged its tail obediently, opened its mouth, bit Chen Shi's sleeve, and pulled him home.

Behind, the giant human head floated over.

The old tree in the center of the village moved without wind, and a branch lashed out like a long whip, hitting the giant human head with a snap, sending the giant head flying.

A pungent smell of medicine wafted through the air. After Chen Shi finished a basin of medicine, he sat in the medicine jar with a bloated belly.

This pot of medicine was his dinner.

There was a fire under the medicine jar, and a big black dog was sitting in front of the fire. Although it was a dog, it had a kind face. When it saw that the fire had died down, it picked up a piece of firewood and stuffed it into the fire.

The medicine jar was bubbling with bubbles. Chen Shi was so hot that he grimaced and shouted, "Black pot, stop burning it! If you keep burning it, it will be cooked!"

Black Pot is the name of this big black dog.

As the name suggests, when the father and son do something wrong, they often let the dog take the blame.

The black pot was picked up by my grandfather, who raised it with leftovers from home. It could understand what people said, was very smart and kind-hearted, and added a few more pieces of firewood to the bottom of the pot upon hearing what he said.

The black dog blinked, as if it was eager to see if Chen Shi could be cooked.

Chen Shi cried out "It's hot" for a while, but gradually he stopped.

He seemed to be used to this temperature.

The young man sat comfortably in the medicine jar, leaning against the edge of the jar. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and felt the long scar.

He didn't have much memory of the injury on the back of his head.

He didn't remember many things, including his parents, whether he had ever been to school, or whether his head had ever been opened.

When he woke up that year, he felt a splitting headache and it was dark and cold all around him. From the darkness came bursts of strange, heavy, and old voices, as if they came from outer space, guiding him.

He followed the direction of the voice and after walking for an unknown period of time, he saw a ray of light.

When he walked into the light, the darkness around him receded like a tide, and everything gradually became bright.

When he got used to the light, he found himself sitting in a large medicine jar. The jar was bubbling with steam and had a pungent smell of medicine. Next to the jar stood a tall and burly white-haired old man, and at his feet there was a black dog adding firewood.

Seeing him wake up, the white-haired old man hugged him tightly with excitement.

Later, Chen Shi learned that the old man was his grandfather. He had been in a coma for a long time, and it was his grandfather who never left him and used various magical medicines to cure him and prolong his life.

Chen Shi didn't remember anything before he was nine years old, and only regained memory when he woke up, so strictly speaking, he was only a two-year-old child.

"It turns out that someone dug out my divine fetus, which is why I became like this."

Chen Shi recalled that he had eavesdropped on the conversation between the purple-clothed woman and others, and silently said in his heart, "I am not born a useless person. I can also practice, and I can also become the favorite of God and the proud child of heaven! The son of Li County Magistrate Li of Shuiniu County, Li Xiaoding... What hatred or grudge do we have!"

He was filled with rage. For the past two years, he had been living with the medicine jar, boiling it every day for a while. The medicine in the medicine jar was often changed, with all kinds of unnamed medicinal materials, even poisonous snakes and scorpions!

Chen Shi only knew that he was sick, but he didn't know what disease he had!

Now I finally understand that all the hardships I have endured in the past few years came from this, from this noble Master Li Xiaoding!

"but……"

Chen Shi was puzzled. "My back of the head has healed, but why does grandpa still make me soak in the medicine jar every day?"

At this time, the air temperature dropped again, and even the flame under the medicine jar became much smaller. The flame, which was originally bright yellow, now turned green.

It was grandpa who came into the room.

Chen Shi took a quick look and saw his grandfather standing in the shadows of the corner. He couldn't see his face and didn't know what he was doing. But Chen Shi always felt that his grandfather was staring at him, sometimes with gentle eyes and sometimes with murderous intent.

Chen Shi had once seen this kind of murderous intent in a seriously injured leopard.

At that time, he planned to approach the leopard and bandage its wounds, but the leopard's eyes made him feel cold. That was the murderous intent exuded by the beast facing the threat of death!
After a while, grandpa went out again, the flames became stronger again, and the air temperature gradually rose.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

The black dog also breathed a sigh of relief and considerately added a few pieces of firewood to the fire, but he was trembling a little as he held the firewood in his mouth. It was obvious that the dog also felt the murderous intent from his grandfather.

Both the man and the dog realized that although grandpa was still grandpa, he was no longer the same person as before.

The grandfather in the past was very human.

My grandfather doesn’t have that now.

The medicine soup in the medicine jar gradually became clear. Chen Shi felt a strange airflow seeping out from the medicine soup and drilling into his skin, just like little bugs, drilling into the pores of his skin, drilling into the subcutaneous tissue, drilling into the flesh, drilling into his internal organs, and drilling into his bones. He felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Although he was soaking in water, he felt as if he was in a raging fire. His entire body, inside and out, was constantly being burned by the flames!
Although Chen Shi was already accustomed to this kind of pain, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When the medicinal power was exhausted and the soup became as clear as water, Chen Shi got up from the jar.

There was a green claw mark on the left side of his chest, with five fingers spread out, as if an invisible ghost hand was holding his heart. After being refined by water and fire in the medicine jar, the green ghost hand mark seemed much lighter.

This green ghost hand mark has been there since Chen Shi could remember, and it has not faded away to this day.

The blue ghost handprint is very strange. It will fade after taking a medicinal bath, but will become clear again after a period of time.

Chen Shi changed his clothes and came to the courtyard. His grandfather's voice came from the next room: "... Atang, when will you come back... I know you are very busy, but you have to go home no matter how busy you are... I am old and will not live long. Xiao Shi is still young and needs someone to take care of him, you take him to the city... I know life in the city is not easy, but he is your son after all, even if you don't recognize him, he is still your son..."

Chen Shi stood silently in the yard, motionless.

Grandpa was also a cultivator. Chen Shi didn’t know what level of cultivation his grandfather had reached. He only knew that he had followed him into the mountains and had never encountered any danger.

At this time, Grandpa should be in the room, using the Thousand Mile Voice Talisman to contact Chen Shi's father, Chen Tang.

Chen Shi has never met his father Chen Tang.

Not once.

Maybe he had seen his father before his divine fetus was taken away from him, but since he woke up, his father never came back once.

He has never seen his mother either.

Not once.

Chen Shi put aside all distracting thoughts and silently practiced the Three Lights Righteous Qi Technique. Starlight from the sky kept falling, nourishing his body and boosting his true qi.

However, not long after, the true energy dissipated again, and no true energy remained.

He persevered and practiced on his own.

Late at night, he finished his practice and went back to his room to lie down.

Not long after, grandpa came to Chen Shi's bed quietly as if sleepwalking, stood there without moving, his shadow cast over Chen Shi's face.

His figure sometimes leaned forward and sometimes leaned backward, but he made no sound.

That chilling murderous intent once again spread in this small room.

silent.

But repressed.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the window of Chen Shi's room opened automatically without any wind, making a creaking sound. Grandpa flew out of the window with his body straight.

"Looks hungry..."

A sound like a muttering came out of his mouth, and his body suddenly jumped up and disappeared from the yard.

Hei Guo raised his head alertly, took a look around, then put his head back and continued to sleep.

In the room, Chen Shi on the bed quietly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa must be sick, not trying to kill me." He said silently in his heart.

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The severe pain made his body curl up like a cooked shrimp. His skin turned red and blue veins popped out!

He bit the quilt tightly, his body trembling, he was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound or breathe, and soon beads of sweat the size of beans covered his body!
Chen Shi's body couldn't stop shaking. He looked down and saw that the green ghost claw was making a gesture of gripping his heart, and the grip was getting tighter and tighter!
Chen Shi's heart tightened; this was not the first time this had happened.

He would experience similar severe pain every few days, and would pass out from the pain several times. During his coma, he even dreamed of many huge, majestic and terrifying shadows in the darkness, surrounding him and reaching out their dark, scaly hands to him.

In the past, every time the ghost claws attacked, it was Grandpa who came to the rescue and pulled him back from the brink of death. But now, Grandpa is not here!

Chen Shi struggled hard, but his legs went limp and he rolled off the bed, feeling so painful that he had no strength left in his body.

He suddenly clenched his teeth, struggled to get up, stepped on the Yu Step, walked on the Big Dipper, pinched the thumbs and little fingers of his left and right hands, inserted his right hand into his left hand, walked on the Big Dipper in the small and humble room, and silently recited the Three Lights and Righteousness Sutra.

"When the Emperor was born, only God was respected. Evil and chaos abounded, no true God was seen, only ghosts were disturbing people! Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, cultivate the fierce righteousness, and refine the holy fetus body!"

He activated his skills, and bits of starlight flew in from the open window like fireflies in the dark night, landed on the surface of his skin, and seeped into his skin and flesh.

As the Three Lights and Righteousness Technique was circulated, he felt the pain gradually subsiding and becoming bearable.

Chen Shi continued to activate the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, and the pain became less and less. The ghost hand that was holding his heart began to relax its green knuckles, no longer squeezing his heart tightly.

"What's going on with the ghost claw on my chest? Why do I have this ghost hand on my body?"

After a long time, the severe pain disappeared, but Chen Shi was still frightened. He looked out the window. The moonlight was silvery white, casting mottled shadows on the courtyard.

"The Three Lights and Righteous Qi Art can suppress the pain. If this technique can draw in moonlight and sunlight, and cultivate the sun and moon righteousness, perhaps the pain of the ghost claw gripping my heart won't occur. It's a pity that every time I activate it, I can't draw in the sun and moonlight."

Suddenly, a thought came to the boy's mind, bringing with it many new doubts: "The sun is clearly the eyes of the only true God outside the sky, and the moon is clearly its vertical eye. Why is it that the sun rises and sets, and the moon waxes and wanes? It's really weird. Could it be, could it be that..."

A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind: "Could it be that there are other suns and moons? The Three Lights of Righteousness actually collect light from other moons and sunlight?"

He leaned his head out of the window and looked curiously at the moon in the sky. It was bright and full of mystery.

That is the vertical eye of the true God from outer space.

"But if there really are such suns and moons, why can't we see them in the sky?"

Chen Shi lay on the bed with curiosity, many fantasies in his mind.

In the sky, God's eye is like the moon, watching over all living beings.

Above the forest, the inflatable human head was hit by a cold light and fell heavily into the mountain.

Soon a tall figure came over and started eating the flesh.

"Delicious, delicious, evil is even more delicious than humans!"
